My granddaughter was fascinated by the shells she found on the beach. The cork is so you can gauge the size of her finds.

they eat anything just pass through there shells
but if you mistaken and you walked and stepped on one of these
I shall here your cry from a far away distance

Until December I'd never heard of a shell wreck, let alone seen one. Basically, from what I understand, every now and then a certain set of circumstances result in a LOT of shells being 'wrecked' on a shore. This wreck went on for a good quarter of a mile, if not longer. It was wide and it was deep, really deep. And it was mostly full of razor shells. Poor things, there must have been millions and millions of them. Great for hungry waders. Not so great for the North Norfolk population of razor shells.
To continue with the theme of shells placed on top of different colour Adaptalux light stems. Number 2, 3 and 4 are Green , Blue and Orange respectively whereas 1 is a White stem to show the setup and full shape of the shell. Taken with Nikon D750 and Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 lens with following settings. All ISO200 f/20 31mm - Green 1/5sec, Blue 1/20sec, Orange 1sec and White 1sec. Camera on Manual.
Gee I'd never heard of this, thought I was just posting a snap of a random sign I passed! Yes, the "shell factory" is very much alive and kicking. Check out its interactive website, park map, and promo video over at www.shellfactory.com

I know you've all been waiting for some Florida pictures... sorry it's taken so long. Aaron and I did some beach exploring this past weekend. We stopped at Madeira Beach for a walk and some shell collecting. The beach was littered with interesting stuff including sponges (like from the Gulf) and some kind of large shelled animals that closed themselves up when you picked them up. We assumed the beach debris was from the water being stirred up by Tropical Storm Fay.
I couldnt help but liken this shell to the head of a fish, which is what I thought it was when I first saw it lying on the beach. The abalone shell was worn in an unusual way with the colours standing out against the silica rich sand.

Thanks for dropping by, all comments and faves are highly appreciated!
This picture represents framing because the heart of seashells frames the subject, the tall curvy shell. One good thing is that it is a unique frame, but it could be zoomed in a little more to be more closely focused on the subject. I would give myself a 20 out of 20.
Shells are the exterior skeletons (exoskeletons) of a group of animals called mollusks. (Stauffer's / San Jose, CA)
